Summary Introduction

To determine:

Whether processed foods and junk foods mean the same or not.

Introduction:

Junk food is the foodstuff which is less on nutrient content and more fats and sugars. Whereas processed food is the food which is altered to increase its shelf life, it is easy to pack, and transport and they have changes in its original taste. In terms of health and nutrition level, processed foods are a better option as compared to junk foods. But again not all processed foods are good for us to consume.
